I absolutely love that Win Probability Chart and hope to see many more like it in the weeks to come. Great write-up, Nate. I must say that "low-stress debut" does not map to that top photo. Are you sure that's not Scotty in Star Trek giving it everything he's got? Aye, the haggis is in the fire now for sure. -
We Should Be More Worried About Jake Odorizzi
BeatTheRich replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Done. For what it's worth, longtime Twins fan Aaron Gleeman simulated the Twins' entire 2020 schedule in Out Of The Park and had the Twins winning the Series without a good year from Odo. Of course, it's only a simulation. But he also had Cruz as Series MVP, and that seems like a pretty sound projection three games in I want to see Bailey and Hill pitch before I begin to worry. I like what Dobnak, Thorpe, and Duran have to offer and like what I saw from Maeda today. Berrios did not look sharp Friday, but it was just one start. Gleeman also had the Twins picking up Corey Kluber at the trade deadline and being a stud down the stretch. Worst case scenario, we look to add someone like him (or him) a month from now. Not cheap, I know, but the window is open. This is our year. (Knock on wood.) Hopefully Odorizzi is OK and it's just a momentary setback. If not, next man up. We have several good young pitchers ready to prove themselves. -
I like Eddie as a hitter and can live with his aggressiveness. It's his fieldwork that's so frustrating. To my eye, it's far too casual.

Nelson Cruz is my favorite late-career signing since Jim Thome. There's no one I'd rather see coming to the plate in a situation like that.

At the conclusion of the 73-0 game Plasman was heard to ask, "Did we win?" I think Dobnak is destined to have a long career with the Twins. I like him a lot. Rosario did him no favors that last inning, though, with that lackadaisical throw. That's what's most frustrating about Eddie and will probably keep him from locking up a long-term contract with the Twins.
